About the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160TC
The SC80X160TC is an 80 mm bore double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a 160 mm stroke, factory-configured with a centre trunnion (TC) mount for pivoting applications. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513 N pushing force, and at the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa the thrust reaches 4523 N, driven by a 25 mm diameter piston rod.
This tie-rod cylinder uses a PT1/8 port and an M20x1.5 rod thread, with an adjustable air cushion of 28 mm at each end to decelerate the load smoothly. The TC mount includes the TCM1 trunnion bracket (order as F-SC80TC), allowing the cylinder body to swing as the rod extends and retracts.

Where the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160TC Is Used
Pivoting Conveyor Gates
The centre trunnion mount lets the SC80X160TC swing to divert or align packages on a conveyor line, with 2513 N of force at 0.5 MPa to move heavy diverters.
Clamping & Welding Fixtures
Ideal for jigs that need to swing a clamp arm into place. The 160 mm stroke provides clearance for part loading, and the trunnion absorbs the pivot motion directly.
Agricultural Implement Control
Controls the angle of a chute or deflector plate on farm machinery. The 28 mm cushion at each end protects the assembly from shock loads during rapid directional changes.
Is the Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160TC the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC80X160TC when your application needs a mid-range force of 2513 N at 0.5 MPa and the ability to pivot the cylinder body during the stroke. If you require higher force, the SC100 series steps up to 3927 N at the same pressure; for a lighter, more compact solution, the SC63 provides 1559 N. The 160 mm stroke is well within the 1500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
To replace an existing cylinder, match five points exactly: 80 mm bore, 160 mm stroke, PT port thread, centre trunnion (TC) mounting, and the absence of a magnet. The SC is a tie-rod design and is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 profile cylinders.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC80 Standard Cylinder SC80X160TC FAQ
At 0.5 MPa air pressure, the cylinder pushes with 2513 N and pulls with 2268 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the pushing force increases to 4523 N. These values are based on the 80 mm bore and 25 mm rod diameter.
The SC80X160TC is supplied with the centre trunnion (TC) bracket. If you need a basic cylinder without a mount, order the SC80X160. The trunnion is designed to let the body pivot; fixing it rigidly would defeat its purpose and may induce bending stress.
